A band stage plot maker for the whole production pack.

Stage Plot Forge helps bands, live sound engineers, and production teams turn a stage layout into a practical advance document. Arrange the band on a precise Mac canvas, connect the drawing to inputs and monitor mixes, then export a PDF the venue crew can use.

Make a band stage plot the crew can scan

Start with the audience edge and stage dimensions, then place each performer, instrument, microphone, monitor, amplifier, riser, power drop, and utility where it belongs. Clear labels and consistent orientation help the venue understand the setup before load-in instead of decoding it during changeover.

Build for a duo, a five-piece band, or a touring setup

A useful stage plot maker should fit the show rather than force every act into the same template. Stage Plot Forge includes 358 purpose-made production symbols for common band, backline, audio, staging, people, power, and utility requirements. Import PDF, PNG, or JPEG artwork when the show needs a custom instrument, scenic element, or venue object.

Keep the input list beside the stage layout

  • Document channel numbers, sources, microphones, direct boxes, stands, and phantom-power notes
  • Assign monitor mixes and describe what each performer needs to hear
  • Separate artist-supplied equipment from venue requests
  • Record show contacts, revisions, production notes, and incomplete details

Catch contradictions before the advance is sent

Preflight checks help surface missing channels, duplicate patching, and incomplete show details while the project is still editable. Keeping the canvas and production lists in one document reduces the chance that the plot shows one setup while an older spreadsheet describes another.

Export a crew-ready band stage plot

Export the stage layout as a vector PDF and include the input list or all existing production data in the same pack. You can also create PNG or JPEG images, export input and monitor lists as CSV, or print directly from the Mac app. The full-featured 14-day trial lets you make and export a real show before deciding whether to buy the one-time licence.

Turn the next advance into a clear production pack.
